Growing up in her father’s garden, Petra believes each seed and each of us is in the world to change the world. Her passion, curiosity, love of food and love of people led her all over the world studying seed, song and culture worth celebrating. In 2012, she co-founded Fruition Seeds with her partner Matthew to share the seeds, knowledge and inspiration gardeners crave to amplify our individual as well as collective abundance in our short seasons. If she’s not farming she is singing, skiing, snuggling her dogs, hunting mushrooms or learning something new.
